Thank you, I'm busy at work so happy to pass on to somebody else if anyone would like to volunteer!

Does anyone mind if I have a go?

It won't be Hulk Hogan.

@Jaguar: It's your turn to post a new one.

Never forget to train,
Say your prayers,
Take your vitamins,
and open to Burgundy!

I'll never forget the Hogan-Calhamer match of '87.

"Support THIS!"

Guess:
Hulk Hogan

We should stick to wrestlers.

Never heard of the guy...

Allan Calhamer!

Correct! I don't think he passes the dartboard test for the general population, but I figured he'd be a permissible exception here.

I would certainly hope that more than 50% of the people here know who Calhamer is, yes.

1 Real person
2 Male
3/4 Died after the end of WWII
5 Not European
6 Born in North America
7 not professionally involved in sports
8 not known for involvement in politics or government
9 not involved in "entertainment industry" as typically defined, but could be included in a broader definition
10 not married to an actress
11 not known for involvement in journalism or news media
12 not known for involvement in science
13 he had some entrepreneurial activity in selling his invention, but I wouldn't say he's known as an entrepreneur because he very quickly stopped taking part in the business side of it
14 did die of natural causes

Wrong guesses:
Farnsworth or any other inventor of Television
Inventor of the frisbee (but getting slightly warmer)

Hint: his invention is a source of entertainment

Guess:
Walter Frederick Morrison (inventor of the Frisbee)

Call me British but I grew up learning Logie Baird invented the television!

Aye! And I'd like to add to this that he was a Scot.

Philo Farnsworth, the inventor of television?
